Overview:
After more than a week of fighting, the situation had become confusing, resulting in a lack of coordination between many Polish units. The Southern Front containing Army Krakow and Army Malopolska, was created on 10 September in an effort to control the situation. Its situation then deteriorated badly on 12 September. The 2nd Panzer Division made a breakthrough and penetrated to the north, nearly unopposed, and started an encirclement. The Polish forces had to fall back to escape the encirclement and it was decided that the Warsaw Mechanized Brigade would attack and seize Tomaszów Lubelski in an attempt to draw attention off the remaining forces who would attempt to fight their way back to Lemberg.Attacker: Polish (Reinforced elements Warsaw Mechanised Brigade)

| 2020-11-04 | (D) Gordon Jupp | vs | Neil Brunger | German win | Wrecked tanks all over the place, and half the German force KIA or prisoners! The Poles came on really hard in the first 4 turns but paid the price in terms of AFV losses and when the German reinforcements came on it started to look tricky for them,,,we called it on T6 when there were only 2 Polish tanks left...fun game though! | ||

| 2018-04-29 | (D) jon smith | vs | polish | German win | Germans offered a weak centre in grain fields, but had both HIP guns covering this area and 3 HMG teams... using the foxholes as ways to fall back they fought it out with the poles who used armoured assault to protect the infantry as much as possible.. but 3 immobile tanks from the 75* and 2 brewed up from the 37mm meant cover became scarce and the poles paid a high price to get into the village on the west flank just as the german reinforcemnents piled in swamping them. The german armour reserve all arrived on the east flank and close range shots from massed 20L tanks took out the Vickers tanks protecting the polish centre and it was all over with poles having maybe 4 tanks left and about same in unbroken squads... |
